yes, i've seen those. i'm not 100% sure but i do recall something about 
3com cards (later versions) using standard uarts. if this is true then 
sio(4) driver should recognize the card as 16550 uart (i think the card 
actually has later 16?50 uart, but they all should be backward 
compatible with 16550).

if you could please undo your changes to the ng_bt3c(4) driver, plug 
your card back and send me the dmesg output of sio(4) driver that would 
be nice.

personally, i was not able to use my 16550 uart based Xircom bluetooth 
pcmcia card with freebsd since NEWCARD went in. the sio(4) driver just 
does not work with the card. it used to fail to detect the card, now it 
can detect the card but fails to transfer the data (timeout).

thanks,
